No one is locked into the Steam store. Any of the others could release a Linux handheld if they wanted to.

First they would have to make an interface that works in a console like way, and then actually make the launchers work on Linux. But this would require effort, and neither care about actually supporting customers.

Epic is far happier being customer hostile.
